“The best air is where the Sea Breeze meets that of the Melogno”
so sayeth our great-grandmother who lived until the age of 104
Our holiday farm is right here!
We are two siblings, Lorenzo and Francesca, with a passion for nature.
After earning his MA in Agronomy, Lorenzo collaborated with the Università Statale di Milano, then he moved to Vene in order to take care of his grandparents’ lands and olive groves, thus keeping the rural tradition alive.
Francesca earned her graduation at the Università di Torino with a dissertation on bees. At first, she devoted herself to urban beekeeping by installing beehives on the balconies of the city with the aim of conducting environmental biomonitoring surveys, then she decided to join her brother in Vene where she keeps – among other things – raising awareness about the wonderful world of bees.
An ancient farmhouse from the late 1700s, which our parents have renovated over the years to enhance and preserve the history of our family, overlooks our underlying lands.
We have chosen to live here for the beauty of the valley, for the climate, for nature, for the sight of olive tree tops caressed by the wind, and because our roots are here.
We are two siblings:
Lorenzo, a graduate in Agricultural Sciences, and
Francesca, a graduate in Geography with a passion for bees.
Our activities
The Finalese area, considered the capital of outdoor activities, is an incredible place where, thanks to the mild climate, it is possible to engage in all kinds of outdoor sports practically year-round.
Relax amidst nature and enjoy the uninterrupted view of the pristine woods that meet the Pora stream in the valley below.
Dive into the pools of the Pora stream during the summer.
Enjoy the sun on the beautiful free and equipped beaches of the area and engage in watersports such as snorkelling, diving, kayaking, surfing, sailing, paddleboarding, underwater fishing, etc.
A fenced dog area is available for guests, where you can safely let your pets run under the shade of the olive trees.
Take walks on foot and on horseback immersed in the typical “Mediterranean scrub” with over 2000 km of trails.
Engage in mountain biking and enduro on the famous trails of Finale, which offer more than 150 routes.
Climb on the spectacular 192 cliffs in the area and over 3500 climbing routes.
In the evening, there is also the excitement of being able to admire the stars.

Our products
Olive oil
It all started from here: the desire to take care of our family olive groves to obtain superior quality extra virgin olive oil. 90% of our olives are of the Taggiasca cultivar, and the remaining portion consists of ancient local varieties.
Honey
Our passion for bees has led us to set up a small apiary near our home, which, in good years, rewards us for our efforts by producing excellent honey.
Fruits and vegetables
Our guests have access to fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
